This scan rated NIS2 with an earlier keyword method that is no longer shown; rescan for the per-article view. Risk management, continuity, supply chain, training, MFA, management oversight (Art. 20) and incident reporting (Art. 23) need internal evidence, and Guard cannot tell whether NIS2 applies to this organisation.

GDPR is indicative only, based on publicly visible signals: Articles 7, 12, 13 and 32 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 and Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive. Not a certification or legal assessment.

Priority findings

8 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

  2. Security headers

    Security headers are instructions your web server sends to every visitor’s browser. Missing ones leave visitors more exposed to attacks such as clickjacking and injected scripts.

    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • High

      Missing Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

Results by check

Each check with its score, findings and the evidence it collected.

How this score is calculated

The security score runs 0–100, higher is better. It is the plain average of the security checks that completed in this scan, each counted equally. A check that could not run is left out: it counts neither as a pass nor as a fail.

Not counted

  • NIS2 outside view: Re-weights evidence from the TLS, email, DNS, network and hygiene checks, so counting it would count that evidence twice. Shown on its own.
  • OffSeq Observations: An AI reading of the site, useful context but not reproducible evidence. Shown on its own.

Findings that cap the score at 49

Each of these is serious on its own, so while any is present the site cannot rate better than high risk, however good the other checks are.

  • The certificate is not trusted by browsers
  • The website is not served over HTTPS
  • A database, remote desktop, file-sharing or Telnet service is reachable from the internet
  • The page loads a script from a compromised source
  • The domain registration has expired
  • SPF authorises every server to send mail as the domain

Partial scans

When the site blocks Guard or most checks cannot run, the score covers only the checks that ran (usually DNS and email), is capped at 75 and is shown as partial, without a risk level.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

The association occupies a niche position in the Czech energy sector, focusing on chimney and hydrogen heating technologies. Their business model is non-profit, emphasizing education, research, and expert consulting. They maintain partnerships with government bodies and research institutions, enhancing their credibility and reach. The website content and structure support their mission effectively, targeting both professionals and the general public. Growth indicators include active event participation and online educational offerings. The partnership ecosystem is robust, involving multiple government and industry stakeholders.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security baseline with enforced HTTPS and no exposed sensitive data. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options represents a gap that could be exploited. No vulnerability disclosures or incident response contacts are present, which could hinder timely security issue reporting. Privacy compliance is minimal, lacking explicit privacy and cookie policies, which is a compliance risk under GDPR. Overall, the security maturity is moderate with room for improvement in policy transparency and technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to enhance GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to strengthen defense against common web attacks.
  3. Establish a security.txt file and incident response contact to facilitate vulnerability reporting and improve security posture.
  4. Regularly audit and update WordPress plugins and themes to mitigate risks from outdated components.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and conduct periodic security training to foster a security-aware culture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses WordPress CMS with a custom theme and several plugins for functionality such as YouTube embedding and logo showcases. It leverages Google Tag Manager for analytics and tracking. Images are optimized using ShortPixel, improving load times. The site is mobile responsive and well-structured for SEO. However, no hosting provider information is discernible. Performance is moderate, with potential gains from further optimization. The technical stack is modern but could benefit from enhanced security configurations and accessibility improvements.
Standards and sources

Reference chips under each finding point to the standard, regulation or specification the finding relates to. They are taken from the official datasets below and mapped conservatively: a finding with no defensible link shows none. NIS2 and GDPR references mark where a finding is relevant evidence, not a compliance verdict. Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690 binds digital infrastructure and digital service providers; for other entities it is the most detailed public reading of the Article 21 measures. WCAG, EN 301 549, European Accessibility Act and Web Accessibility Directive references name the requirement an automated accessibility rule relates to; they are not a conformance verdict.
